PrintBanana Bread Waffles
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
These banana bread waffles are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast, combining the comforting flavors of banana bread with the crisp texture of waffles.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil), melted
- 3/4 cup milk (any kind, nut, etc.)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (or coconut oil), milk, egg, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (or according to your waffle iron’s instructions).
- Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes, or until your waffle iron indicates they are done.
- Serve immediately with blueberry and pecan relish or your choice of toppings.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil and a nut milk of your choice. These waffles are best served fresh, but they can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast. The batter should be slightly lumpy; overmixing can lead to dense waffles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the pecans in the Blueberry-Pecan Relish?
Yes, you can replace the pecans with walnuts or almonds if you prefer a different nut or have a nut allergy.
What should I do if my banana bread batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk or a bit more mashed banana to reach your desired consistency.
How do I know when the waffles are done cooking?
The waffles are done when they are golden brown and crisp on the outside; you can also check if they release easily from the waffle iron.
